DARPA

The “Cybervan” is a potential solution to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001’s mandate, offering reliable, cost-effective, life-saving technology that is modular and scalable to any ground vehicle platform. Leveraging Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) technology, Cybernet’s solution provides a low-cost, effective technology that can be rapidly and directly inserted into the Army's existing fleet of medium tactical trucks currently used in convoy operations.

The 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge was the third in a series of competitions DARPA has held to foster the development of autonomous robotic ground vehicle technology that can execute simulated military supply missions. The 2007 competition was held in a mock urban area.
